"To me, these are kind of stiff and look like they would scratch the saddle. I didn't even try them. I exchanged for the Pessoa covered leathers which are super soft and nice. For about the same price, go with the covered leather!"

"I purchased a pair of Pessoa stirrup leathers about 6 years ago--they were perfect: stitching nice and tight, even dye throughout, large Pessoa stamp, holes punched cleanly through. I was proud to own them. I recently ordered a pair and WHAT a difference 6 years makes: dye was uneven, holes were barely (if even) punched through, small Pessoa stamp (like they were ashamed to claim these leathers as theirs), stitching uneven. I compared these with my very, very cheap spare leathers--and the leather quality was exactly the same, but the holes on the cheap leathers were punched clean. I took pics and sent them to their customer service--their response? NONE. In addition, OTHER TACK STORES ARE NOTICING THE DECLINE IN QUALITY AS WELL!! Trust me, upgrade to a better stirrup leather like I did--Antares is expensive, but a perfectly solid, quality leather. I'm not sure why people are giving these leathers 5 stars--these leathers aren't worth more than 20 bucks. Sorry, Olympic rider not to be named, your quality control is horrible at your company!!"

"I bought these because I have a pessoa bridle and it matches my saddle great and is very durable. I love this leathers, they have additional holes so that I don't need to punch additional holes they already come and they are also tough. I have used mine for about six months and they still look brand new!! They broke in quickly too. I liked them so much I bought another pair for my other saddle."
